An ideal solution consisting of 79 wt% benzene (C6H6) and 21 wt% toluene (C7H8) was heated in a closed vessel to 50 ºC. What is

the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour phase when equilibrium was reached at 50 ºC? Round your answer to two significant figures.
Data: Vapour pressure of benzene at 50 ºC = 271 mmHg

Vapour pressure of toluene at 50 ºC = 91.5 mmHg

In this case, according to the Raoult's law, we can find the mole fraction of 79 wt% benzene and 21 wt% toluene at 50 °C in the vapor phase as follows:

y_iP=x_iP_i

However, we first have to calculate the mole fractions in the solution as follows (b stands for benzene and t for toluene):

\\x_b=0.79\frac{g\ benzene}{g\ solution} *\frac{(78.11*x_b+92.14*x_t)}{1mol\ solution} *\frac{1mol\ toluene}{78.11g\ toluene} \\\\x_b=0.79\frac{g\ benzene}{g\ solution} *\frac{78.11*x_b+92.14*(1-x_b)}{1mol\ solution} *\frac{1mol\ toluene}{78.11g\ toluene}\\\\x_b=0.79*(x_b+1.18*(1-x_b))\\\\x_b=0.79x_b+0.932-0.932x_b\\\\x_b=\frac{0.932}{1+0.932-0.79} =0.816\\\\x_t=1-x_b=1-0.816=0.184

Next, we calculate the total pressure as follows, according to the Dalton's law:

P=x_bP_b+x_tP_t=0.816*271mmHg+0.184*91.5mmHg=237.972mmHg

Finally, the mole fractions of the vapor phase turn out:

y_b=\frac{0.816*271mmHg}{237.972mmHg}=0.929\\\\y_t=1- 0.929=0.071

The density of a material is a/an ___________.
Nitella [24]

The density of a material is an intensive property.

<h3>What is intensive property?</h3>

An intensive property of matter is one that does not change with the amount of matter. It is a bulk property, which means that it is a physical property that is independent of sample size or mass. An extensive property, on the other hand, is one that is affected by sample size.

<h3>What factors influence an intensive property?</h3>

Intensive properties are those that are determined solely by the characteristics of the material and not by its quantity - for example, density, temperature, refractive index, color, and pressure. Intensive properties are not additive, which means their value does not change when the amount of material is changed.
